Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 344 Snow in the North Country (10) 1-[-] update!
As for Princess Yicheng's so-called letting him rule the Central Plains and become a new generation of emperor, he has no interest.

So this time, since Xieli has been able to unify the grasslands, he already has the capital to negotiate peace with Datang. There are more than [-] combat power.

As long as he holds heavy soldiers in his hands, then Datang will have to give in and obediently satisfy all the conditions of her Xieli.

There was a trace of worry on Li Jing's brows.

If only according to Cen Wenwen's statement, Xieli would not have an advantage if he wanted to negotiate with Datang just by relying on the less than [-] troops currently guarding Heifengkou.

After all, the Tang army has all returned to Shuofang now. Relying on the strength of Shuofang City, even if the [-] troops come, they may not be able to break through the city, not to mention the gunpowder.

But in fact, Xieli's agreement book in his hand made him puzzled.

Why did Jieli dare to ask Datang for [-] shi of grain, [-] bolts of linen and copper coins?
Why is he?
"Did Mr. Cen know what kind of backhand Jieli has?" Li Jing asked, rubbing his forehead.

"Backhand?"

Cen Wenwen was a little puzzled.

As a civil servant, he was not familiar with dispatching troops, but he couldn't help being taken aback when Li Jing asked him this question.

Suddenly, Cen Wenwen seemed to think of something, slapped his head, and blurted out: "Three days ago, when I was traveling three days ago, I seemed to have heard that Xieli had transferred troops, but I didn't pay attention at that time. I don't know the news Can it be useful to the handsome?"

Li Jing nodded immediately, then stood up and walked towards the back of the tent.

Because a map was erected behind the tent.

Yinshan, Shuofang, Heifengkou, Dingran, Xiangcheng.
Li Jing carefully analyzed any place Xieli might attack based on the current situation.

At this moment, Niu Jinda also stood up.

Apparently, Niu Jinda also felt that since Xieli wanted to negotiate peace with Datang, and the peace talks did not accommodate Datang because of the failure of Temuhebu, on the contrary, he still looked like a lion, if Xieli had no back-up That's hell.

Xue Wanren, Zhang Yi, Yue Shiyi
Everyone present couldn't help thinking about Xieli's target.

After all, even in peace talks, both sides hope to be on the side with an advantage. In this era of fists, the side with the advantage must take the initiative.

What's more, it is now the beginning of winter, and according to the past practice, there will be no wars in winter, so since Xieli wants the lion to open his mouth to blackmail Datang, he will definitely attack the border town in the near future.

From Jieli's point of view, if Jieli can get one or two cities, then Jieli will have an absolute advantage. Not only can he loot the people in the city to get some food and grass, but he can also send a lot of money through the Tang Dynasty officials. A windfall.

This principle is actually very clear in everyone's heart.

It's just that what Xieli will do is not known to everyone.

But as a general, both Li Jing and Niu Jinda can be said to be veteran killers on the battlefield. Although they can't be sure through experience analysis, they can also see a little clue from the overall situation.

Li Jing's fingers gradually moved from Yinshan Mountain to the border of Datang.

"Shuofang City Jieli is impossible to attack!" Li Jing said lightly, and then PS lost the possibility of Jieli attacking Shuofang.

"Well, Shuofang is now a strong city and has a large army. If I were Jieli, I would not be able to attack Shuofang!" Niu Jinda nodded and said, "Even if he, Jieli, has 20 cavalry in his hand, he wants to attack us in a short time." Neither will Shuofang City! If we insist on attacking, it will be a war of attrition. Although our Tang Dynasty suffers from natural disasters and lacks food and fodder today, we can barely sustain it!"

Cen Wenwen said: "According to my observation in Yinshan, the Jieli Department is not optimistic!"

Hearing what Cen Wenwen said, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Cen Gong, please speak up!" Li Jing said.

"Although there seem to be a lot of tents in the Yinshan Mountains, most of them are women and children!" Cen Wenwen walked to the map as he recalled, pointing to the place where the Yinshan Mountains are located, and said: "This is where they camped, and for the convenience of management, Their army is stationed here!"

"Huh?" Li Jing frowned again.

Because the place Cen Wenwen pointed out is actually still some distance away from Yinshan Mountain, at least three hundred miles away from Yinshan Mountain, and the west of this place is Xiangcheng, if you go south, you will be Shuofang, and if you go east, it is too far away

Immediately, Li Jing already had an idea of ​​Xieli's next combat target.

However, Cen Wenwen didn't stop talking, he continued: "Don't look at Jieli's tone of voice, but he is actually a strong outsider, because he still has a secret known to the old man, hahahahaha!"

"Oh? What's the secret?" Niu Jinda was also interested, and slapped Cen Wenwen on the shoulder, and said eagerly, "Old man, tell me quickly!"

"Ouch!"

Cen Wenwen let out a scream, and was almost dislocated by Niu Jinda's slap.

"Oh, Mr. Cen, forgive me!" Niu Jinda bared his teeth when he saw Cen Wenwen, and he knew that he had acted a little too hard just now. After all, they are very old and are no better than young people.

"Huh!" Cen Wenwen no longer had the sadness after being hijacked before, but he looked like I was a hero, and said with a smile: "Although the old man was strictly guarded by Jieli in the tent, the old man still never let me go. You can see the clues in the three meals a day!"

Cen Wenwen rubbed his arms. Although he was angry at such a rough man as Niu Jinda, he also knew that Niu Jinda didn't do it on purpose, so he gave Niu Jinda a glance and continued: "We are from Tang Dynasty, and we are not used to their barbarians who don't put salt Beef and mutton all depend on this official position, so Xieli opened a small stove for me and the group. This morning, we ate millet porridge, and at noon, we ate rice porridge haha!

To be honest, even when I was in Chang'an, I didn't have such a good treatment! "

Although Cen Wenwen's official position is not low, he still has to support a large family.What's more, the ancients have had the virtue of frugality since ancient times, especially for a person like him, as a minister, he can be said to be an extremely human minister, and he pays more attention to selfish desires.

So when he was at home, Cen Wenwen generally only had two meals a day with his old wife, and it was just porridge and preserved fruit.

When they arrived at Yinshan, Jieli obviously gave Cen Wenwen and his party a very high standard of reception because of their identities, and did not despise them because they were captives.

On the contrary, there are a lot of good wine and good food, and they are specially prepared for them with the five grains that Han people like to eat.

Of course, from this point of view, it can be seen that Xieli, at least for now, has no intention of invading the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, or if he does, he will have to wait until he has unified the entire Mobei Prairie.
